A drunken MI5 officer threatened revenge on a senior colleague who she blamed for breaking her heart, a court heard yesterday.

The woman, given the code name 2363, screamed at her former lover that she would “f*** you over” before complaining to bosses at the Security Service that he was harassing her, Southwark Crown Court was told.

Her former boyfriend, who has been given the pseudonym Mark Barton, told police that he accompanied his former lover home after drinking with 250 colleagues at MI5’s social club, the court heard.

Mr Barton said that after getting off the train together she accused him of continuing to have sex with his former long-term girlfriend, who is also an MI5 officer.
